How to do it: Shuck corn and discard silk and husk. Wrap the corn in heavy duty aluminum foil, with or without a flavored butter or oil inside. Grill directly on hot coals, or on top of a grate set over the coals, turning occasionally until fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Advantages: Very easy to serveâjust pull the corn off, let it rest, and serve.
Baking is a method of cooking food that uses prolonged dry heat, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked. Heat is gradually transferred from the surface of cakes, cookies, and breads to their centre.
What is the difference between roast and bake? Roasting and baking are both terms used to describe cooking with dry heat. We usually refer to roasting meat or whole birds (chicken and turkey), and baking fish, breads, sweets like cake, and cookies, and sometimes smaller pieces of chicken, fruits and vegetables. What matters is the idea that either way, we are talking about surrounding the food in an enclosed environment of dry, hot air.
